I used to love doing four races a day at the nationals when i was in the vareo as after the second race most people were knackered i just used to pray for 20 knots everyday much more fun trying to lap the backmakers Big smile

I think sea sailing is much easier in some boats than others - I'd far rather sail my contender on the sea than inland.  Fewer shifts so not so much need to tack so often, nice long trapezing legs, the challenge of the waves on the downwind legs.  Easier and more fun.

As Alan pointed out earlier with is report from the Streakers, sea sailing can be disastrous for some classes, but they are the ones lucky enough to perform well on almost all inland venues - quick to tack so easy to respond to shifts, close tactical racing, great fun all round.

Horses for courses, as ever.
the same, but different...
